Introduction
The DSP-8683 integrates Texas Instruments 66AK2H12 and TMS320C6678 multicore processors based on the KeyStone architecture, and a Xilinx Kintex-7 XC7K70T FPGA device
to provide the highest computing performance and flexibility in a half-length PCIe form factor for supporting a wide range of applications. The built-in 16 TI C66x DSP cores and 4
ARM Cortex-A15 cores offer unrivalled processing capabilities for data and control plane processing while the reprogrammable Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA device adds flexibility to the
design by allowing the inclusion of customized hardware functions. Video acquisition is achieved through SDI-3G input/output and HDMI input connectors facilitating connectivity
to external devices for video processing. The Gigabit Ethernet and USB3 interfaces can be used for data streaming between the DSP-8683 and remote systems. A unique standalone
operation mode enables the DSP-8683 to be operated as an autonomous embedded system without the involvement of an additional host processor card or motherboard, allowing
highly cost effective deployment. An innovative and unique, dedicated board-to-board interconnect offers the possibility of synchronizing multiple DSP-8683 cards over dedicated
high-speed serial interfaces. All these unprecedented features make the DSP-8683 ideal for new video standards (such as HEVC/H.265) in broadcasting, machine vision, medical
imaging, cloud computing, and mission critical applications among others.
